  • Sugar Forest

    Exposition name: Sugar Forest
    Type: Animation and Sculptures
    Materials: Animation and sculptures with sugar packages.
    Date: 2008

    Description: Sugar Forest (2008) is a visual exploration combining animation and sculpture, constructed entirely from commercial sugar packages. The project reflects on mass consumption, the artificiality of processed food, and the industrial aesthetics of sweetness. Through the transformation of a mundane product into an imaginative forest landscape, the work critiques global sugar economies while evoking both nostalgia and discomfort. 

  • Virtual Museum Residency

    Exposition name: Virtual Museum Residency (Pharmakon)
    Location: Laboratorio Arte Alameda Museum, Mexico City
    Date: Mar – Apr 2021

    Description: Pharmakon began just before the COVID-19 pandemic, when I was invited by curator Lucía San Román to develop a project in the garden of the Laboratorio de Arte Alameda (LAA) museum in Mexico City. However, due to the onset of the confinement, the project transformed into a virtual residency. From March to April 2021, we adapted the initiative into an online format, offering seminars and courses focused on medicinal plants and their cultural, therapeutic, and symbolic uses.
